Chile: Ancient & Modern Wines A The Philly Wine School

Cost: $$

Uncover the Wines That Time Forgot

The vines came first. Long before Chile was a republic, grapes were growing here. Some of those ancient vines still are, untouched by rootstock or fashion, hidden in valleys where the 21st century barely leaves a trace.

This isn’t the Chile you think you know. Forget the bargain-bin Merlot. This class is a journey into the true heart of Chilean wine, where volcanic soils, coastal fogs, and ancient vines collide.

We’ll start with the regal Cabernet Sauvignons of Maipo, where Bordeaux dreams were replanted and reimagined. Then we head south to the haunting old-vine País of Bio-Bio, a grape once dismissed, now revered—the ancestral thread that links the Old World to the New. From the cool-climate elegance of Casablanca Pinot Noir to the rustic soul of Itata’s Carignan and natural wines, you’ll taste a living archive of Chilean identity.

This class is for the curious. For those who want to drink history, terroir, and rebellion in a single glass.
